How to Troubleshoot DirecTV DVR When the Timing Is Off
A DirecTV DVR gets the time setting for the internal clock from the DirecTV satellites and adjusts for your local time zone. Problems with incorrect time on a DirecTV DVR are usually caused by setting the wrong time zone or logging into the guest account with a different ZIP code. You can fix both issues through the DVR's menu.

Tips & Warnings
If you are logged in as a guest, the DVR will display the time zone associated with the ZIP code you entered when you logged in. Select "Logout" from the Settings screen and log in with the correct ZIP code for your area.
